LOVE BUTTERFLIES

Hi and good morning to all my wonderfully talented followersand visitors.May I say a big welcome to my new follower, and thank youfor joining my blog. Well it's Sunday, which can be a very busy day for most people.So I do appreciate all of your comments and time spent visitingmy blog.THANK YOU soooooooo much.

Today I was lost for a title for this card, so as there is a lovelybutterfly on it, and as I do love butterflies sooooo much, hence the title.That brings me to small story about when I visited Butterfly World in the Isle of Weight.I was very nervous about going in to see the beautiful butterflies.You see I was afraid if one flew at my face I would get afraid and make a swipe at it, and perhaps do it some damage.Well let me tell you I needn't have been afraid, because I wouldn'thave missed such a wonderful opportunity to see some exquisitebutterflies, and some really quite large variety too.They had a special curtain to stop any from escaping into thegift shop next door, well let me tell you one kept on trying toget through with no avail, but he or she kept on trying.Well I've waffled on toooooo much yet again.So here is my card for today.

Click on the photo to enlarge the picture.

This card was made with holographic mirri card, papers from my stash.That Special Touch Mask Ivy although it doesn't look like ivy.Some punched flowers layered, a Martha Stewart Edge Punch,and of course the Spellbinders Fanciful Flight Die.I hope you like it.Thank you again for taking the time to visit.I hope each and everyone of you has a wonderful Sunday.Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi Jenny - thank you so much for your very kind comment on my card. The pearls I use come in two sizes and these are the larger of the two (was all I had left) I think I prefer the smaller ones. They are flat backed which makes them easier to stick on. I buy them from Wild Orchid - I think they might be in the wedding section. M.L.

This is very pretty Jenny and I love that die I have it in my crafty stash lol I adore butterflies I use them a lot. Thanks for the comments on my blog I appreciate them very much huggles hun xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

What a stunning card Jenny! I love butterflies too , they are just so pretty and they always have had a sentimental value to me. I believe they mean "a new life , new beginning" . They are very beautiful and look gorgeous on any card. Hope you are well honey hugs xx

Hi Jenny, I've not been around for a few days - lots of crafty things on this week so have had my head down..lots of new stuff to post in a day or so though, lol...this is such a pretty card, I love butterflies and when I first got this die last year, I couldn't stop using it...it's had a 'rest' this year and I have the new ones, but this is still my favourite and will be resurrected in the spring :) hugs Carole Z X
